how much Watt is it on your power supply when you connect to a external monitor?

reedo_43 · Jan 28, 2015

Huh? watts? How are you connecting it? hdmi? Are you selecting the correct input on the monitor? Possibly a keystroke on your laptop to send the video out

Believe it or not, but power supply that charges the battery on the laptop matters when you connecting to a monitor.

reedo_43 · Jan 28, 2015

No it does not. Monitor has it's own power.

Yonose · Jan 28, 2015

Well ye they have it own power..

Well at work we got 2 monitors, laptop and a docking.. so the problem im talking about might happen because its a docking station involved aswell?
Because i do know for sure if the laptop is in a docking and the docking's power supply aint big enough the monitors wont turn on.
